Are there any problems with Micropigmentation?

Usually, micropigmentation is tattooing and should be thought of as permanent.

Micropigmentation tends to look better from further away than from close up as the distinct smoothness of the texture tends to indicate something is just not right when viewed close up.

Common problems with micropigmented center on the hairlines, which are often too straight and look unnatural, but this may be a sign of the poor quality of the workmanship, rather than the procedure itself.

As with hair transplantation, creating a low, full, permanent “hairline” on a young man could look terrible after he ages and/or experiences further balding. Remember that your hairline at 20 will naturally be significantly lower down than your hairline at 50, so plan ahead otherwise you could be defeating the purpose.

Apart from the safety aspects of the procedure that apply to the general practice of tattooing, micropigmentation is not for everyone, andits effectiveness as a masking of a balking head depends on:

• the shape of your head,
• the colour of your natural hair,
• your age
• the skill of the practitioner

The choice is yours but you should think of micropigmentation as a permanent procedure that will force you to keep your hair buzzed forever and should plan accordingly. The same rules and guidelines used when designing a hairline for hair transplantation should apply for micropigmentation.
